Ledyard Interview
WORK WITHOUT IDEA OF GAIN
Lawyer Insists He Was Inno
cent Victim in Negotiations.
SPEAKER CLARK NOT SEEN
Witness Before Lobby Committee
Says He Represented Himself as
Having Authority of leaders
of Democratic Party.
WASHINGTON. July 7. The strange
tale of "Wall - street operation begun
before the Senate's lobby ' committee
last week by David Lamar had an
other chapter added today when Ed
ward Lauterbach, Lamar's, assistant in
many undertakings, pleaded that he
had been the Innocent victim of a
"vicarious sacririce" in negotiations
that have involved the Morgan firm,
the steel interests, New York attor
neys, members of Congress and men
of Jesser prominence.
Lauterbach had already testified be
fore the committee. But since his
former appearance, Lamar had told his
unexpected story, involving himself
and Lauterbach in the preliminaries of
the steel trust investigation and ex
traordinary effort to restore Lauter
bach to the good graces of the Mor
gan firm, and Lewis Cass Ledyard had
added his sworn - statement that
Lauterbach had represented himself as
the emissary of Speaker Clark, Senator
Stone and Democratic leaders in an
effort to effect a "reconciliation" with
the Morgan steel Interests and shut
off investigation or opposition in Con
gress. Questions Hurled at Laottrbacb.
Lauterbach, long prominent in legal
eircles in New -York, sat all day under
a searching" fire of questions froni Sen-'
ators on the lobby committee. He ad
mitted voluntarily or under the de
mand of his questioners, most of the
facts told by Ledyard, but he declared
that throughout the negotiations be
tween Lamar and himself, and between
himself and members or representa
tives of the Morgan firm, he had been
the, "innocent victim". of those who had
concealed facts or made misrepresen
tations to him. Throughout the entire
proceeding he declared there was no
thought of reward on his part. He
raised himself In the witness chair
and shouted "No!" with vehement em
phasis when Senator Reed suggested
that there had been an efofrt to "shake
down" the Morgan and steel trust in
terests. "That -insinuation is an insult and
an outrage!" he exclaimed. Lauterbach
admitted he had told Mr. Ledyard that
he had the authority of Speaker Cla.rk,
transmitted through' Senator Stone, to
make certain "proposals for peace" to
the Morgan Interests, but said this
authority came from Lamar. He de
clared he had never , seen Clark or
Stone, but had been assured by Lamar
mat me latter knew Senator Stone,
and that he had made the arrange
ments for the Lauterbach-Ledyard in
terview with the approval of Stone
and the Speaker.
"Did you see any Democratic leaders.
Speaker Clark, Senator Stone, Con
gressman Palmer or any other Demo
cratic leaders?" asked Senator Reed.
"No, I saw none of them."
Lauterbach said he had never seen
President Taft but that Lamar had told
him the Republican Administration was
opposed to the steel investigation. On
that he based his statement to Ledyard
that Taft did not desire the Investiga
tion. He added he had censured Lamar
for not letting him know of the Im
personations he was carrying on over
the telephone.
"Lamar said he had done these things
to bring to light the conspiracy against
me of which Mr. Ledyard was the lead,
ing factor. He had been working as
siduously for two years to defame me
because of my association with Lamar,
explained Lauterbach.
Steel Interests Represented.
In explaining how he expected to
stop activity against the Steel Corpor
atlon. Lauterbach said he had repre
sented Creorge Kessler. third largest
holder of Tennessee Coal & Iron stock
in the "steel pool" before the 1907
Panic and at the request of Mr. Morgan
he had undertaken to get an option on
K.essler's stock. He felt he could pre
sent arguments showing the dangers
that would attend an investigation of
the Steel Corporation. He said he had
told Charles Steele, of the Morgan firm
that he could go ahead and along that
line.
"My idea was to have some arrange
ment made by the steel people that
would meet the criticisms that had
been made." explained Lauterbach. He
declared he had not meant he could
come to Washington and hold up the
investigation pending in the House.
"I saw nobody. I talked with nobody.
I had no influence to stop the investi
gation. 1 believed that if the steel
trust had done some of the things they
have done Mnce and some other things
the investigation would have been
stopped because I would have been un
necessary." Lauterbach said Lamar showed him

partiality during their week's stay in
London as delegates to the Interna

They called on King George at St.
James' Palace and told him all about
Portland, Seattle and the Northwesr.
Then they went around to see and
hear Mrs. Pankhurst and her suf
fragettes in action. Had they known
about Dad's day in time they would
have taken up that celebration while
cracking Jokes with the King. But in
the circumstances they would not have
mentioned it to the Pankhurst suf
fragettes. Mr. Chamberlain waited for the
slow-going mails to bring the news of
the reception of Sam Hill and himself
by King George, and so was scooped
by a cable which James L. Brass, as
sistant general manager of the ure-gon-WaBhlngton,
had relayed to him a
couple of weeks ago. But Brass kept
the news to himself and a few in
timate friends.
Mr, Hill and Mr. Chamberlain h.'ve
made a short tour of the Continent
in connection with their good.r'a3s
work. Mr. Hill has traveled over pta
tlcally all of the good 'roads' of "Great
Britain and Europe and a lot of in
ferior ones in Asia. He took a camera
along on his present European Jaunt
and promised when he left to put Mr.
Chamberlain into some of the new
lantern slides that'lie uses in his good
roads speeches.
There were no pictures taken of the
meeting with King George.

the conference of the finance committee
may, after reference or otherwise, pro

SAN FRANCISCO. July 7. A brush
(ire on the west slope of Mount Tamal
pals, discovered at 11 o'clock this morn
ing, ran before the wind with amazing
rapidity until tonight the whole side
of the mountain was in llames and the
Mulr woods, the only grove of sequoias
on San Francisco Bay, were in immi
nent danger.
Contrary currents of wind, deflected
by the sharp ridges, carried the tire
both up and down the mountain.
Little anxiety was at first felt for
West Point .Inn or the Mount Tamal
pals Tavern, on the summit, which
were believed to be protected by the
bare ground surrounding them.
Klre Beyond Control.
At 5 o'clock Superintendent Thomas,
of the Mount Tamalpals Railroad,
said:
""The fire is completely out of con
trol and will be at the edge of the
woods before G o'clock. We have 150
men at work and are hurrying up an
other trainload. Fort Baker is send
ing a company of soldiers. ,
"The mountain will still be burning
tomorrow how seriously we can't tell.
The blazing mountain was visible far
at sea tonight, like a great fncandecept
globe. From the hills Saftt 'rau
'cisco eould be seen the rolling clouds
of smoke and the glow in the sky, with
here and there a scalloped scarlet edga
on the black bulk of the southern
slopes, where the fire ate through
canyou or topped a crest.

Nobody knows how the first spark
was set in the brush, but careless
campers are blamed.
Hundreds of workers and companies
of soldiers from Fort Baker are fight
ing the lire in an effort to save Muir
woods.
. The officers of the Mount Tamalpals
Railway said at 7 o'clock tonight that
unless the winds sliif or strengthens
tho big trees will be saved. A train
load of additional fighters Is belnyr
rushed to Mulr Wood Canyon, up whicij
the flames have been sweeping.
The hope to save tho sequoias rests
upon the success of a backfire that has
been started. If the wind jjrows
stronger, however, it is said this will
not avail against the onrush of the
flames.
West Point Inn, located half way up
the mountain, was being abandoned at
7 o'clock and the tourists lodged t litre,
with their effects and the inn's con
tents, are being taken down the moun
tain, on thu railway.
Kire Reat'hru Kedwood Park.
At 10 o'clock tonight the fire that
swept downward from Mount Tamal
pals and up through the Muir Wood
Canyon had reached tho boundary of
the National Redwood Park. Five
hours of unceasing effort in the heat
and smoke has almost exhausted tue
soldiers and civilians, 200 in number,
and measures calling for reinforce
ments were received at Mill Valley,
at the foot of the mountain.
In answer to the call for help, I'yo
soldiers from . tho Presidio, the
Francisco military reservation, were
hurilcd across the bay, and with Jhoin
a detachment of the San Francisco lire
department. More than 100 ret.idems
of Mill Valley and the half dozen towns
and villages near by have volunteered
for service in fighting the flames. The
soldiers and the volunteers are to be
conveyed to tho fire on a. train of the
Mount Tamalpals Railway, which is
made up and waiting.
Messages from the fire line to Mill
Valley say that the wind has gone
down and there is still every hope that
the big sequoias in tho park will be
saved through the agency o numer
ous back fires that have been started.
Carl Whalen. a guide, his wife and
Bonny Whitcome, pilot of a gravity
car, encountered the fire while on a
down trip, near West Point, three
fourths of the way up the mountain.
They covered their heads with sacks
and Whitcome. thus blindfolded, ran
the car through the fire wall.
Mrs. AVhalen's seat was burned to
cinders. A mountain lion and two cubs,
driven from the underbrush, boldly took
refuge, in the yard of a Summer resi
dence on the mountain side.
